Top 10 Books On Online Education, Diploma Mills and More

Let's face it - as potential online students, it is not
uncommon for us to turn to our favorite online site for
research and news.  A quick search in Google or Yahoo will
almost immediately bring up information on what we are
looking for without us having to do too much work.  The
speed and convenience of the internet is what has
revolutionized business and education today.

However, despite the overwhelming use of the internet
today, many people still enjoy researching and gathering
information from more traditional, off-line sources.  The
ability to sit with a book and a cup of coffee is something
that many enjoy on a daily basis.

With that in mind, listed below are our top 10 list of
books discussing distance education and online degrees.
This list comes from a search of Amazon.com and includes
books that have been rated highly with their popular "star"
system.  Although these books do not provide an exhaustive
overview of the online education system, we hope to provide
a glimpse of what is available in the "off-line" world.

While most of the books that made our list are focused on
higher education, it is important to note that online
education is beginning to make a significant impact on high
school and home school education as well.  In fact, there
are already full-time, diploma-granting online public high
schools in existence today such as Insight School of
Washington State.

As the internet and technology continues to change the face
of our education system, it will be imperative that
students and parents alike learn the intricacies of online
education.  Whether you prefer to do research online or
off-line, one thing is clear.  There is an abundance of
information available to you today.  Learn to use it and
grow!
